Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone replacement therapy that uses plant-based hormones identical to those produced by the human body to address hormonal imbalances. These hormones are tailored to each individual’s needs, providing a natural and effective solution for symptoms related to menopause, thyroid deficiencies, and more. BHRT can alleviate issues such as fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings, and low libido. At Millennia Wellness MD, we offer hormone pellet therapy, which ensures consistent hormone levels for long-lasting relief and improved overall health and well-being.
Depending on your health history and lab results, BHRT may help with symptoms associated with low or declining hormone levels, including:
These symptoms can have other causes, including thyroid conditions, so we start with a full evaluation and lab work before recommending treatment.
Women in perimenopause or menopause may consider BHRT to address symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, and low libido. Treatment plans may include estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone, depending on your symptoms, history, and labs. Learn more about women’s hormone therapy.
Men with symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, low libido, and reduced muscle mass, may be evaluated for treatment once lab testing confirms low levels. Learn more about men’s hormone therapy and testosterone therapy.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) utilizes hormones derived from plants that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which can cause side effects due to structural differences, bioidentical hormones seamlessly integrate into the body’s natural hormone receptors. This allows for more effective regulation of hormonal balance, addressing deficiencies and imbalances with precision. By mimicking the body’s natural hormones, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in Frisco provides a more harmonious and efficient response, leading to improved symptom relief and overall health without adverse effects.
Your first visit at Millennia Wellness MD includes a review of your symptoms, medical history, and goals with Dr. Mathew, along with lab testing to measure your baseline hormone levels. You’ll have time to ask questions and talk through the benefits, risks, and alternatives before deciding on a plan.
Once your treatment plan is established, you will receive the hormone pellets. These small, plant-based pellets are inserted just under your skin in a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed in our office. The pellets slowly dissolve over 4-6 months, releasing bioidentical hormones that closely mimic your body’s natural hormones. This approach ensures steady hormone levels, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with other delivery methods.
After the hormone pellets are inserted, you will experience minimal downtime and can usually resume normal activities within a day or two. Some minor bruising or swelling at the insertion site may occur, but it typically resolves quickly. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment.
Every patient responds differently. Some notice changes in hot flashes, sleep, or energy within weeks, while other symptoms take longer to improve. We schedule regular follow-ups and lab checks to see how you’re doing and adjust your plan if needed. Results are not guaranteed.
At Millennia Wellness MD, we provide bioidentical hormone pellet therapy to ensure consistent, long-lasting hormone levels. These small, plant-based pellets are implanted subcutaneously and gradually release hormones, maintaining a steady state in your body.
This avoids the fluctuations common with other hormone delivery systems, offering more reliable symptom relief. Furthermore, hormone pellets can last for 4 to 6 months, eliminating the need for weekly visits for hormone injections or the daily application of topicals.
Results vary from person to person. Depending on your needs, pellet therapy may help:
Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones your body makes. That’s a difference in structure, not a guarantee of greater safety or effectiveness. Bioidentical products include both FDA-approved options and custom-compounded formulations.
BHRT can be given as creams, pills, patches, injections, or pellet implants. Dr. Mathew will talk with you about which form fits your symptoms, lifestyle, and health history.
Your provider uses your symptoms, lab results, and medical history to choose hormone types and doses. We follow up regularly with labs and symptom reviews, and adjust your plan as needed.
No. Some bioidentical products are FDA-approved, but custom-compounded formulations are not, and they may vary in consistency. Ask your provider which type you’d receive and what that means for you.
Like all hormone therapy, BHRT may carry risks such as blood clots, stroke, or certain cancers, depending on your individual factors, the type of hormone, and how long you use it. Your provider will review these with you before you start, and we monitor you throughout treatment.
